T0 FETE WINKLE IN TNERSIY Priends Pian Dinner i Hodor of Popalar Constable ' A quarter of s century in the service of the people of this city as & public official is the record of Censtable Fred Winkle, who tomor- row evening will be feted by a large aumber of friends and admirers at & testimonial dinner given in honor of his continuous service in that of- fice at the Elm Tree Inn in Farm- ington, “Twenty-five years ago this spring, Censtable Winkle was first elected to the oftice and each successive con- test found him unanimously re- élocted without oppesition for a quarter of a century. As a faithful servant of the people in the capacity of econstable. Mr. Winkle gained many friends and admirers, some- thing net often attained by a person in such & position. His earnest serv- ice was rewarded through the long years and he' now commands the respect ‘of every individual whe En_t- Rim. His popularity ameng human beings, gave him a thorough understanding of humaa nature and unpleasant as the job eften seemed in attaching somebody’s property, he always left the impression gvgn among the most prejudiced, that he ‘was only doing a duty, His genial dispesition and goed nature won him friends through- out the city and the state. It is even known that on many occasious he would rather help a victih of circumstances whose personal prop- erty was about to be attached, than to bring the person additional troun. bles and worcies over a matter often” trivial, yet requiring legal dispensa- tion to bring about settlement, In many cases the aid was never re. paid. Such instances were usually forgotten by him and he held no grievance or animosity towards the person. Constable Winkle was. born in 1878 in Austria and came to this country in 1887 making his resi- dence in this city. He had no rela- tives in America and had to go about seeking his livelihood in the best way he could. Posseased of grit and perseverance, he set about to work and save and in a few years accumulated a little money with which he went into & business part. nership with J. Miller. Together they conducted a clothing atore in the old opera house building on Main street for a number of years. In the spring of 1904 Constable Winkle ran for the office he now holds and after being elected discontinued his business, giving up all of his time The men of the parish and mem. bers -of Court’ Columba, Catholic Deughters of America, will receive eommunion next Sunday at the § @'clock mass.

Tenement House Safeguard “The bill. pertaining to the tene- ment house law whereby a tenement house cannot be erected over four torles without an elevator is one hat will be of benefit to the work- ingman in the atate of Connecticut and prevent a number of speculators from coming in here and erecting tenement houses without any con- sideration for the people who live on the-top floor. “The bill pertaining to small loans carried with it the amendments that the interest shall be reduced from 42 per cent to 30 per cent a year and this failed, but the amendment that the rate of interest must be given in every instance where the working of interest is used or any mention of interest js made, was carried. The bill pertaining to the manu- facture of renovated mattreszes has given the legislature considerable concern for the past two sessions. It passed this legislature after quite a debate between the manufacturers’ association and the legislative agents | of the Connecticut Federation of La- hor. All mattresses from now on that are remade or reno d must be done so of material that is ster- ilized and they must be satisfactory to the factory inspectors’ depart- ment., This bill in itself was consid- ered quite a victory for the Connecti- cut Federation of Labor and has the support of a number of bona fide mattress manufacturers in Connecti- cut, but had the opposition of the manufacturers’ association, Old Age Pension The old age pension brought forth the most opposition and caused the greatest talk in the legislature. This recommended an approptiation of $10,000 and the appointment of a committee by the governor to make a study of the conditions existing in Connecticut and to report two years later the cost of giving a pension to people who have réached the age of 70, the number of people involved, and the amount of the pen- sion, The bill had the support of & number of republicans but when it came to voting as the roll call was taken, it was found that a number who were going to support it had hewed to the line and sustained the committee’s report, which was un- favorable, The judiclary committee | stated in its report of the bill that ! a study was going to be made in the next two years by those interest- ed in this kind of legislation and in particular, the manufacturers’ asso- clation of the state of Connecticut, and that it really ought to be left to them to make a study for the state without any cost to the state. This report caused considerable comment throughout the state by a number of newspapers writing editorials upon such a polic “We are strongly of the opinion that this legislature made a mistake ! in not granting the appointment of 2 commission by the governor for ! the purpose of making t. tudy of ihe need of an old age pension. It is ene of the big mistakes the legis- lature made and we regret very much that the judiciary committce was unable to see it as we see it.

The ten other entries have report- ed landings at various points in Pennsylvania or New York. Six of these landed after having battled cold winds and rain, Lieut. T. G. W. Settle, pilot of Navy No. 1, dropped a note as he passed over North Adams, Mass., last night. The other two failed to report. Ward T. Van Orman brought his Goodyear VII to earth at Keeseville, N.

Balloons also were seen at Brattle- boro, Vt, and Shelburne Falls, Settle sail- ing over these places was unknown. Lieut. U. G. Ent, aide on Army No. i, which landed near Branch, N.

At one time, he said, it was believed the bag had drifted over the ocean, but later it was found to have been a lake, possibly Lake Canandaigus. “We saw our 300 foot drag rope trailing in water and we worked like the devil to get back up to safety,” Honeywell telegraphed. Airplane Very Close Army No.|1 and the airplane came within 500 feet of each other just be- fore dawn somewhere near Lock Haven or Willlamsport, Lieutenant Ent said. “He didn't see us until the last minute, We had heard his motor and kept waving our flash light until he saw it and turned on his ground lights to let us know. It was rather close.” Lieutenant Ent also said his bal- loon hit the ground in Sullivan county, N. Y, and was dashed against a big rock in the side of the hill, smashing in one side of the basket. Neither airman was hurt. The first and second place winners in the elimination will participate in the Gordon Bennett international race to be held later in the year. The United States also will have one other entry in the international this year—Captain W. E. Kepner, army pilot, who will act as defender. Cap- tain Kepner won both the elimina. tion and the international in 1928.
